Sam Worthington helped push the Harlan Coben Netflix series I Will Find You to 63.9 million views in the first half of 2026, good for third place on Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows list. The eight-part title had been live only 11 days before the first-half window closed, a short runway that makes the total hard to dismiss.
Netflix said the series was watched for 350.5 million hours in the first half of 2026, while Nielsen logged 1.84 billion minutes of U.S. viewing time for June 15–21, 2026. That kind of cross-platform volume usually means a title is pulling in both debut curiosity and sustained playback, not just one burst of sampling.
Sam Worthington in the lead
Worthington plays a father wrongly imprisoned for murdering his son, and that premise gave the series a clean, high-friction hook from day one. Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, and Erin Richards round out the cast, which gave Netflix a broad-enough ensemble to carry the show beyond the first click.
The result landed behind His & Hers and Bridgerton Season 4 on Netflix’s first-half 2026 ranking, but still well ahead of the kind of middle-tier numbers that can vanish in a crowded TV slate. For a title released on June 19, the speed matters: 63.9 million views in 11 days is not a slow build.
Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb
The series posted major streaming success despite mixed reviews, with a 62% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 60% audience score. IMDb lists it at 7.1 out of 10, which suggests a reception that is decent rather than dominant even as the viewing totals kept climbing.
That split is familiar in TV now: a show can convert a strong setup and a recognizable author-brand into heavy viewing before word of mouth fully settles the score. Here, the numbers say the audience arrived quickly; the ratings say enthusiasm was more measured than the raw view total implies.
Myron Bolitar at Netflix
Netflix is already developing a new Myron Bolitar series, with Colin Woodell set to play Myron Bolitar, KJ Apa as Win Lockwood, and Diane Guerrero as Esperanza Diaz. Myron Bolitar first appeared in Deal Breaker in 1995 and has appeared in 12 books, which gives Netflix a deeper library lane if it wants to keep turning Harlan Coben material into TV.
For viewers, the immediate takeaway is simple: I Will Find You has already done enough on Netflix to strengthen the case for more Coben-led programming, even if the reception was mixed. What drove it to 63.9 million views so quickly after its June 19 debut now looks less like a mystery than a proof of demand.
